  • You’re so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

    Assuming it’s the same feeling, it’s such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it’s like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

    YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won’t take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that’s enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don’t even feel that deprived when you’re having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I’ve lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don’t even really exercise!






  • I don’t have kids, but if age restriction did come for VPNs, I honestly think I’d subscribe to one for them. Or at least bring back the idea of having a “family computer” in the main living area, where they can use a VPN with supervision.

    I know everyone’s kids are different, but surely it’s better to at least attempt to teach them how to use the internet safely and in a healthy way (adblock, security, privacy, bots, scams, the perils of social media, discussions about porn and when it is and isn’t healthy/exploitative etc.) rather than keeping them on The Pretend Internet till they’re 18 and then unleashing them on the world. 😬 So they can fall for every scam and get “hacked” every few days and argue with AI bots like old ladies.
